Google Street View Now Available for Key West

This should be a lot of fun for those folks who have never had the opportunity to see Key West in person. Also a lot of fun for those looking to relieve a few memories.

Street View, a Google Maps project photo-documenting the streets of the world, is now available for Key West.

To see the images:

Go to www.google.com/maps and search/zoom to Key West.

Click the grey "Street View" button on the upper right corner of the map.
Next, you'll see blue highlighting on the streets that have images in Street View. Click anywhere on a highlighted street to see the images Google has captured. (Also, you can drag the yellow human icon to a place you are interested in.)
Once you see an image, navigate along the streets using the arrows overlayed on the pictures.
You never know who (or what!) you might see. And this has a few privacy advocates concerned. In response, Google has implemented a face-blur technology that prevents most people from being recognized.


Pretty cool technology
